SUMMARY: This resolution awards a construction contract to Rebuild-it, a Sentry Equipment Company, for Project No. 23-102 (WW2002) & (WWAN04) FY2023 Gravity Thickener Rehabilitation Project at the James R. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None BACKGROUND: The James R. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility treats all the wastewater for the City of Pueblo. The gravity thickener receives solids from the two primary clarifiers. The solids are thickened before being transferred into the digesters. This process is done mechanically with a drive in the middle that turns the rake arms to gather the solids at the bottom of the thickener. The drive seal has failed, and no oil can be held in the reservoir. The mechanical components have bent and will no longer track true around the tank, creating a problem with the movement of the arms. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The cost of the construction project was bid at $296,381.97 with contingencies of $29,638.20 Funds are available from the Sewer User Fund and appropriated to Project No. 23-102 (WW2002) & (WWAN04). BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: None ALTERNATIVES: Alternative No. 1 - No Action If no upgrades are performed on the gravity thickener mechanical drive and components, the condition of the equipment would continue to deteriorate until an emergency repair is required at a higher cost than a planned project. The James R. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility would also risk violating its discharge permit if the equipment is not upgraded, and an outage were to happen. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Resolution ATTACHMENTS: 1. 10-10-23 23-102 Gravity Thickener Bid Summary
